Kiin

Monday, June 05, 2017

The highly
anticipated opening of Chef Nuit and Jeff Regular’s latest restaurant, Kiin, is
finally here! Kiin, Thai for “eat” will truly bring the taste of Thailand to
Toronto. The duo behind Sabai Sabai, Pai and Sukhothai have shifted from their
Northern Thai food focus to introduce a variety of traditional Thai dishes that
can be found all over Thailand. Chef
Nuitsays that the menu draws from
experiences she’s had growing up and travelling across Thailand where food
sharing is an important part of the culture.A few of the dishes on the menu also take
inspiration from Royal Thai cuisine which is pretty much extinct in
Thailand.However, Chef Nuit learned
many of the techniques while in Thailand which attribute to very intricate,
delicate and beautifully prepared dishes.The menu
features a mix of local and imported ingredients, allowing guests to experience the different flavours of Thailand. Ingredients such as white turmeric, buffalo
basil, wing beans and angled gourd are just a few of the unique additions to Chef Nuit's creations.

My favourite dishes were the Royal Thai Platter, Wing Beans, Braised Short Rib and Sea Bream. However, I really did enjoy every single dish I tried and was super impressed by the different flavours and presentation of the food.

Not only is the food incredible, but the space at Kiin is beautifully designed and intimate, with a capacity of 35.Whether you’re here for lunch or dinner,
you’ll be truly amazed by every aspect of Kiin.

Kiin will be
open for lunch and dinner service and is located at 326 Adelaide Street West. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm for lunch, Monday to Sunday from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm for dinner.
